This means it is a kernel module.

Delete or rename (move somewhere else, outside the /etc/init.d/ and
/etc/rc?.d/ directories) the bluetooth scripts in the various rc?.d
directories. That should keep the various bluetooth modules from
getting loaded.

There are the kernel modules (*.ko).

> Do I assume I have to customize Kernel to remove it?

No, just prevent the kernel modules from loading. Either my way,
delete/rename the scripts in /etc/rc?.d (actually symlinks, but...) or
do what another poster suggested and blacklist. I prefer to
delete/rename since the bootup won't even spend time reading in the
scripts and checking the blacklist.

Hey Phil, you still reading comp.os.netware.*? :-)
